> Walter broke his own record set in 2019 with 81 years and 85 days.

So not exactly news... still impressive, and some quotes worth considering:

> Walter believes that the best part about having a job is that it gives you a sense of purpose, commitment and a routine.

> He comments that the best professional advice he can give is to try to work for a good company and in an area where you feel motivated.

> "I don’t do much planning, nor care much about tomorrow. All I care about is that tomorrow will be another day in which I will wake up, get up, exercise and go to work; you need to get busy with the present, not the past or the future. Here and now is what counts. So, let’s go to work!"

An Eckhart Tolle fan? :)
